Police: Juveniles vandalize Shrewsbury business with propane torch

Southern Regional Police say two New Freedom juveniles face charges in connection with using a stolen propane torch to burn lewd graffiti into the wall of the Shrewsbury Wash-n-Store on Friday.

The incident occurred about 5:30 p.m., police said. The scorching damaged a wash bay wall panel at the business, located on Constitution Ave. in Shrewsbury Borough.

The vandalism could have caused widespread damage to the existing structure, along with the area currently under construction. Estimated damage to the wash bay is about $200, police said.

The juveniles, ages 15 and 16, are on probation for a previous vandalism. The two now face charges of arson, risking a catastrophe, conspiracy, receiving stolen property, and criminal mischief. A third juvenile is being charged with the theft of the propane torch, police said.
